Israel the KILLING machine

I belive that the Isreali army is turning the civilians of Gaza into resistanace; as they have all the right to defend themselves, their children, and their families from the Israeli KILLING machine.

06 59am. Ney lad. Reading your post you would think thats the end. Apart from your mostly incohearant posts the conflict goes on ending in a spectacular raid. Why i bet you can suck a golf ball through a hose pipe with those lips. Justice is about to be done ONCE and for all.

sons of abraham

Arabs and Jews lived in peace for centuries.Jews prospered in Arab lands, why all this cruelty and rage against unarmed people.Arabs could have killed every single Jew but no they were left alone to practice their belief according to the Koran,Jews are people of the book what did they turn into.
please unite with the the true Jews they are great people and eliminate Zionism so we can have peace.
yes i am an Arab and proud of it and i think jews and arabs can live in peace.
salam alaykom.see it sounds like shalom.

Fight till the last drop of blood

Message to Gazans: Do not run! FIGHT! Fight like a brave that you all are.
Eliminate the hypocrites.
Cordon the aggressors, the invaders.
Ambush the enemy.
But show mercy in your struggle.
Embrace death wholeheartedly.
FIGHT IN THE NAME OF ALLAH AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE VICTORIOUS.

Israel Hides behind or under the American Nut sacs!

NUKE Israel

We have just had marches with thousands taking to the streets in all our major cities.

The general message is that which many South Africans, (except the jews) feel . . . NUKE ISRAEL.

The amount of force they are using is completely insane. They are attacking one of the most densly populated areas in the world. There is no place to hide.

This is about as cowardly as a woman hitting a man with a flat hand and he gets into her with fists, feet, knives and the works.

The attacks on Israel from Lebanon has been welcomed here with people dancing in the streets.

The South African government has also been told to get rid of all Isreali diplomants in the country.

Fortunately the HYPE of sympathy the jews and israel have been riding on since WWII is now wearing thin world wide and the world is getting sick of these little hook noses.

Everyone is holding their breath to see what the reaction of the new US president is going to be, considering he himself has a Muslim background as a child and by birth. That of course depends how much money he got from jews and zionists in his campaign. They would have made sure they have him in their pocket like most of the other US presidents.

Israeli Coward monster

All Gazans show that will power is the greatest weapon to the blood thirsty Israeli .The cowboy Yankiees (americans) who look after the middle East monster will definitely pay dearly for their stooges action. God is great for all Palestinian Muslims and christians.
